Membership to National Trust, or something else relevant to her interests

Magazine sub

Theatre tickets

Voucher for afternoon tea

Cashmere socks

Food, drink, voucher for meal / theatre / cinema.
Same as I get anyone. I find etting other types of gifts too stressful.

Ask her !

Perhaps she doesn’t want anything, I am 60 and really, really don’t want anything, fortunately in our family we all agree not exchange gifts apart from under 18s.

Thanks, some great ideas there!
I have asked her but she can't make decisions to save her life!! 😂 but I know she would be disappointed not to get anything

Beautiful bunch of flowers - ephemeral, but lovely whilst they last.

Does she like reading ? I've bought my auntie a scratch off book poster which she can frame at a later date - plus a book token.

I've also got her a nice gin and some socks, bathbombs.

Maybe a subscription box to something she is interested in too ?

Me and friends are doing meals out or theatre trips. Presence instead of presents.

Turtle Doves recycled cashmere gloves & neckwarmers.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 02/12/2018 19:54

What's your budget?

Local afternoon tea
Nice candle
Agree re lovely bunch of flowers or cashmere wrist warmers
Books or a book token
Something she likes/uses a lot of - eg her favourite scent or the body lotion/soap in the same brand / nice olive oil or bubble bath / bottle of whatever her tipple of choice is

A decadent candle and bath oil

We have a good local butcher who does vouchers so we often buy a voucher and bottle of red wine so recipient can have steak and wine one evening on us.
